"Ok, here we go!" Carlos said "And a, five, six, seven, eight!"
The music started. The people Carlos and I were trying to teach started off good, but it sure as hell didn't last long.
"Come on! Get your head in the game!" I said.
One of them pulled his blindfold up.
"Carlos, when can we take the blindfolds off?" he asked.
"When you can dribble and pirouette at the same time." I said "Now blindfold down." I pulled it back over his eyes.

It's important to set up impossible situations in rehearsal. That way, by opening night, they've been through every possible emergency scenario. Someone has a heart attack in the audience? Keep dancing. The sound system goes out because of a tornado? Keep dancing.
*Standing in the rehearsal room*
Carlos: Tornadoes come and go. Dance is forever.
*Carmen walks by eating some Cheetos*
Carmen: Preach.

Carlos, Miss Jen and I were in the auditorium taking measurements to figure out how big the sets had to be.
Nini walked in.
"Um, have you seen my phone? It's kind of a eggshell champagne color, has a Playbill case?" she asked.
"Ok, well that's adorable. I said.
"No, but we'll keep a look out." Miss Jen told her.
Nini started leaving
"Just remember, there's no phones in rehearsal!" Miss Jen called out to her.
"I know!" Nini called back.

*Standing in the backstage area*
Miss Jen: Things were simpler when I was a teenager. We had flip-phones and M Three P players. My job is to put these kids on airplane mode. So they can fly. *Makes butterfly hands and goes flutter flutter with them*

Mr Mazzara walked in.
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!
"Miss Jenn, I need a moment." he said.
"Do you have an appointment?" I asked, stepping in front of him.
"I've got this honey." Miss Jen told me "We're done for the day." she said to me and Carlos.
